Founded in stealth in New York's Flatiron District, Fauna Robotics spent two years building Sprout as a different kind of platform – one that treats robots ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat ...

Imagine a swarm of tiny robots, each about the size of the palm of your hand, spreading out over a wildfire-ravaged community ...

(Nanowerk News) For decades, scientists have envisioned a future where nimble robots could traverse rugged terrain and squeeze into tight spaces, ideal for search and rescue missions, industrial ...

Seeing robots made with soft, flexible parts in action appears to lower people's anxiety about working with them or even being replaced by them. A study found that watching videos of a soft robot ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

What just happened? A team of engineers at the University of Edinburgh has unveiled a new chapter in robotics: soft, four-legged robots that can walk off a 3D printer as soon as they're made. This ...
